[Note that items returned without a valid RMA# will be returned freight collect]

  1. Call customer service to obtain an RMA# (Return Material Authorization Number). You will need one of the following: your PO #, the Invoice # or the Sales Order #. Issuing of an RMA # is not an automatic determination of warranty or eligibility for return, but simply a way to track the item.
  2. Write the RMA # on the outside of the package in LARGE letters using a sharpie like pen.
  3. If the item is a Non Warranty Return, call a courier service and send the item PREPAID to us.
  4. If the item is a Warranty Return, will issue a call tag and UPS will pick up the item.
  5. Once we receive the item, we will inspect the item to make a final determination on warranty or eligibility for return credit.

 Please note: Items Installed By a Non-professional will void the warranty. All items must be installed by a recognized upholstery shop. For a list please call or email us and will recommend one in your area.

We take great pride in our products. We use original manufacturer quality materials and seasoned craftsmen to construct finished products that will enhance the functionality of your automobile and quite possibly improve its value.
